The School Governing Body is committed to the general principle of free education. The Governing Body recognises the valuable contribution that a wide range of activities, including school visits, residential experiences and clubs, can make towards all aspects of pupils’ education. The Governing Body would accordingly wish to promote and provide as far as possible such activities as part of a broad and balanced curriculum for the benefit of pupils of the school. We do, however reserve the right to make a charge for the some activities which may from time to time be organised by the school. Please see the policy below.

Date joined: July 2016
Responsibilities: Chair of Governors
I have three children, two of whom attend Holy Family Catholic Primary School so I am a busy mum but I am also a partner in a firm of solicitors. As an accredited member of Resolution with a specialism in Domestic Violence and Private Law I have a friendly manner and a practical way of dealing with matters which puts people at ease.

We have two children who attend Holy Family Catholic Primary School both keeping us very busy. I’m married to Katie, Kai currently enjoys swimming, art and dojo and Kiara who keeps us on our toes.
I have a mixture of experience. I am currently an elected district councillor for the local ward, a senior planner for Wilko and also a GMB union post holder for the branch at Wilko with experience of health and safety, finance and a caring and understanding background also enjoy getting involved with charities and joining in with fund raising events.
I take great pride of becoming part of the team as a new parent governor, my skills and experience along with the support of all involved with the school will hopefully enhance the schools performance and maintain such a great environment for our children to learn and grow.
Also keen at sports football and table tennis when the diary isn’t full. I invite all to be involved in the schools progress and I am always available for anyone who needs support and guidance.
